Hold On Now, Youngster…

Los Campesinos!

A hyperactive explosion of glockenspiel, distorted guitars, and academic wit. The definitive sound of mid-2000s UK indie pop at its most literate and loud.

February 18, 2008 · Wichita

Find on Amazon

A high-velocity collision of youthful cynicism and unbridled, glockenspiel-infused joy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The three-minute instrumental build-up of You! Me! Dancing! that explodes into a frantic guitar riff.
The sudden, breathless transition into the group-shouted chorus of My Year in Lists.
The way the glockenspiel melody cuts through the distorted feedback at the climax of Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks.
